While not particularly excited by either of these, this does make me hopeful for some more Taunt Druid support. I'm still staunchly holding on to my Hadronox Druid and would love for that deck to get some new toys.
Ideally, we'll be getting a low-cost (2-4 mana) druid taunt that can easily be paired up with this. When combined with Greybough and the remaining neutral taunts, that could produce a viable deck, or at least a very annoying one to play against.
How does this work with corrupt. I guess the effect will reduce all taunt costs in your hand until you play a taunt minion. But can I corrupt my Dreaming Drake by playing a 2-cost card, while Razormane Battleguard is on the field?
I believe so, as long as the 2-cost card isn't a 4-cost Taunt which makes the Drake's cost return to 3.
Not to really start a huge discussion, but all the weaknesses you mentioned are mostly applicable to the other classes also. I get it that they had to make this class somewhat overpowered to be relevant at introduction (the amount of nerfs DH received last year is proof of this). Mana crystals generation aside, they can literally do everything and I would not even be remotely surprised if they will get this ability in the future also. They already have the opposite now (only lasts a single turn fortunately): Mana Burn
I would not call drawing your entire deck a drawback/weakness by the way, because it is quite the contrary actually. If it was possible, I would run Myra's Unstable Element in most decks.
This one looks very promising. If unanswered on curve, you opponent will be in heaps of trouble when the Taunts start dropping. I might even go as far as to claim this could be a nerf candidate if those tempo swings prove too reliable and strong.

I like it. Obviously, a 0 Mana 2/3 with Taunt is nice for the second/any generated copies of this card. I don't think the discount will stack with multiple copies; that seems too strong, and (base Mana cost) - (2) is still (base Mana cost) - (2) even if there are two cards in play that reduce it by (2). But most potentially good Taunts tend to be 1 or 2 Mana too expensive.

Uh... ways to cheat things out of your hand faster with a class that mana ramps? I'll take two!

Amazing card!!! Great support for taunt druid!
New Druid Minion - Razormane Battleguard
Good for Taunt Druid, not so much in other decks, maybe Clown deck? Idk
New Druid Minion - Razormane Battleguard
As if Druid needed more support for taunts! Great card that allows crazy combos!

Winged Guardian + Plaguemaw = Fun:)
New Druid Minion - Razormane Battleguard
Premium 2 mana minion.
Given that druid's ramp is a thing this WILL see play one way or another.
New Druid Minion - Plaguemaw the Rotting
There are a lot of value combos with this. I think what will determine if this gets played is how consistent those combos are.

More Greybough support

Summon taunt, summon taunt without taunt to resummon taunt.
Taunt is druid's thing now.
Hadronox is pleased.
New Druid Minion - Razormane Battleguard
Mana cheat is very good

As others have said, it´s a great addition to Taunt deck, we just need to see, if it will be viable enough this season.

does not feel like a DH card?

Wait, do they want us to play Taunt Druid? Or Rez Taunt Druid?
Could certainly pair nicely with deathrattle taunts...
